La consommation élevée de psychotropes en France, l’ampleur des enjeux médico-sociétaux des maladies neurologiques et psychiatriques et les projections de population en termes de vieillissement soulignent toute l’importance d’une mobilisation des acteurs de santé. Le dispositif sanitaire français se caractérise par le rôle clé du médecin généraliste(MG) notamment pour la prise en charge des patients sous traitements de substitution aux opiacés(TSO) ou encore des personnes âgées vulnérables, justifiant que ce travail de thèse ait porté spécifiquement sur ces deux problématiques. Dans une première partie, nous avons analysé les caractéristiques des sujets sous TSO vus par les MG d’après une enquête OPEMA. L’importance d’une analyse fine des consommations via des tests rapides de dépistage urinaires des toxiques a conduit à une étude multicentrique ESUB-MG en cours. Lors de ces deux travaux, une démarche de synthèse sur la contribution du MG dans le repérage du trouble de l’utilisation de substance et dans l’Addictovigilance a été initiée. Dans une deuxième partie, nous avons analysé l’intervention du MG dans la prise en charge d’une population âgée vulnérable (Cohorte PACA-Alz). Nous avons étudié l’exposition aux antipsychotiques, puis la prévalence de l'utilisation d'antipsychotiques à long terme. Enfin nous avons voulu identifier les typologies d’exposition aux antidépresseurs chez les plus de 65 ans. L’ensemble de ce travail de thèse a permis: de confirmer le rôle clé du MG dans le dispositif sanitaire français; de souligner son implication dans le mésusage et leurs conséquences au sein de ces deux populations étudiées; de souligner sa contribution à leur prévention. / The high level of psychotropic drugs consumption in France, the extent of the medical and societal challenges of neurological and psychiatric diseases, and population projections in terms of aging, emphasize the importance of mobilizing health care stakeholders. The French healthcare system is also characterized by the key role of the general practitioner(GP), particularly in the treatment of patients under opioid substitution treatment(OST) or vulnerable elderly people, the reason why this thesis work specifically focused on these two aspects. During the first part of the study, the characteristics of subjects under OST observed in general medicine have been analyzed according to a national survey(OPEMA). The importance of a precise analysis about the consumption through urine drug screening test, led to a cluster randomized study ESUB-MG in progress. In these two studies, a synthesis approach was initiated to look for the contribution of the GP to the identification of the substance use disorder and Addictovigilance. Secondly, the intervention of the GP in the management of a vulnerable elderly PACA-Alzheimer cohort has been analyzed. The exposure to antipsychotics has been studied, then the prevalence of long-term use of antipsychotics. Finally, patterns of adherence to antidepressant treatments in patients over 65 years old have been identified. The whole of this thesis work allowed: to confirm the key role of the GP in the French health system (including health vigilance systems); to highlight its involvement in the misuse of psychoactive drugs and their consequences within the two populations that were studied; to emphasize the its contribution to their prevention.

Assim, o presente estudo objetivou avaliar a ocorrência de enfermidades em pacientes do gênero feminino com dependência química e a possibilidade da cavidade bucal dessas pacientes se converter em reservatório de microrganismos oportunistas.. Para tanto, foram obtidos dados referentes às condições de saúde sistêmicas, socioeconômicas, consumo de medicamentos, uso de drogas lícitas ou ilícitas de 50 pacientes com dependência química mantidas internadas em clínica de desintoxicação, o mesmo ocorrendo com igual número de pacientes não dependentes. A seguir, foram realizados exames clínicos intra e extrabucais. Amostras de biofilme supra e subgengivais, saliva e das mucosas foram transferidas para água ultrapura. A ocorrência da família Enterobacteriaceae, Enterococcus sp., E. faecalis, E. faecium, Pseudomonas sp., P. aeruginosa e Candida spp., Helicobacter e H. pylori, bem como os viruses HSV-1, CMV e EBV-1 foi avaliada por PCR ou nested PCR. Verificou-se que 94% das pacientes do grupo teste eram usuárias de mais do que uma única droga, sendo o tabaco (92%), bebidas alcoólicas (68%), crack (66%) e cocaína (52%) as mais consumidas, quase sempre em múltiplas associações. Verificou-se maior freqüência de alterações comportamentais e/ou psicológicas no grupo teste, além de dores articulares, infecções oportunistas, cefaléia, fadiga, xerostomia, formigamento das extremidades, anemia, periodontite, perda de peso, retardo do processo de reparo, entre outras. Observou-se freqüência significavente mais elevada de Candida sp., C. albicans, família Enterobacteriaceae, Enterococcus sp., Helicobacter sp., H. pylori, vírus CMV e vírus EBV-1 na saliva das pacientes com dependência química, enquanto no biofilme supragengival verificou-se... / Drug addiction frequently causes serious systemic, economic and social consequences. Thus, the present study aimed at evaluating the occurrence of illnesses in female chemically dependent patients as well as the possibility of their oral cavity becoming potential reservoir for opportunistic microorganisms. For this purpose, data regarding systemic health and socioeconomic status, medication consumption, legal or illegal drug use were obtained from 50 female chemically dependent patients undergoing inpatient detoxification treatment; while the same procedure was carried out with 50 non-addicted females. Subsequently, intra and extra-oral clinical tests were done. Samples from the supra- and subgingival biofilms, saliva and oral mucosa were transferred to ultrapure water. The occurrence of Enterobacteriaceae family, Enterococcus sp., E. faecalis, E. faecium, Pseudomonas sp., P. aeruginosa and Candida sp., Helicobacter and H. pylori, as well as viruses HSV-1, CMV and EBV-1 was evaluated by using PCR or nested PCR. It was verified that 94% of the patients from the chemically dependent group were multiple drug users, being tobacco (92%), alcohol (68%), crack (66%) and cocaine (52%) the most consumed ones. A higher frequency of behavioral and/or psychological alterations was verified in the chemically dependent group, besides articular pain, opportunistic infections, headaches, fatigue, xerostomy, tingling extremities, anemia, periodontitis, weight loss, delay in the repair process, among others. A higher frequency of Candida sp., C. albicans, Enterobacteriaceae family, Enterococcus sp., Helicobacter sp., H. pylori, CMV and EBV-1 viruses was observed in the saliva from the chemically dependent group; while in the supragingival biofilm a higher proportion of positive samples to Candida sp., C. albicans, Enterobacteriaceae family, Enterococcus sp., E. faecalis, Helicobacter...
